The 3 Benefits of Listening to Podcasts

Ability to multitask
As entrepreneurs, moms, wives, or all of the above, we constantly have our hands full. One of the best advantages of listening to podcasts is being able to learn wherever you are.
Whether you’re cooking, cleaning, commuting, or doing your morning routine you can easily put in a pair of headphones and get to listening. I don't know about you but this helps alleviate the feeling that I, “Got nothing done” or “Have no time.”

Scale back on screen time
With podcasting being a hands-free and eyes-free form of content, you can give yourself a break from stimulating your brain with things like social media, YouTube videos, or TV.
The good news is that it’s still an entertaining alternative that avoids the mental numbness visual content can give us. How? Podcasts require us to use our imagination more since we’re not being provided with a visual image.
If you don’t believe me, believe the scientists. Scientists have proven that too much screen time has significant strain on the eyes and brain. So, why not switch things up and get a good podcast rotation going in your weekly routine? You won't regret it!

Learn directly from experts

Instead of dissecting a ton of articles off of Google, you can go straight to the source for tangible advice, and take notes along the way. The best part? There are so many different personalities behind the mic that you get to choose who fits your learning style best.
